After reviewing over 1,000 charts, I have found some good setups for the week. These were selected and should be viewed in the context of the broad Market Macro picture reviewed Friday which as we close the books on the 2nd Quarter and prepare for a holiday shortened 4th of July week, sees that the equity markets look to have run out of gas. Maybe the short week will re-energize them. All there indexes had a positive quarter with the IWM just out pacing the QQQ, 7.9% to 6.5% and the SPY gaining 3.1%. The QQQ won the month up 0.9% to the 0.6% for the IWM and the SPY eked out a 0.1% gain. The monthly candles all look toppy with long upper shadows, while the quarterly candles are all looking strong.

Elsewhere Gold looks as it may pause in its downtrend while Crude Oil continues to race higher. The US Dollar Index is pausing in its uptrend while US Treasuries are on the edge of a break out to the upside. The Shanghai Composite may be ready to pause in its downtrend while Emerging Markets are setting up for a possible reversal higher. Volatility looks to remain low but above recent levels keeping the wind at the backs of the equity markets but the breeze blowing softer.

The equity index ETF’s SPY, IWM and QQQ, all had a mixed week with early signs of strength Friday fading into the close, leaving questions about the short term. The longer weekly timeframe was much less troublesome showing consolidation for the SPY continuing and the IWM and QQQ digesting recent moves higher. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
